Fun little offseason, Friday afternoon question. Alabama entering Freshman were allowed to buy one of two ticket packages to football games. Which one would you buy if you were a FR?


Package A: WKU, Kentucky, Miss State, Chattanooga

Package B: Kent State, Texas A$M, Auburn


Clearly the marquee game is the iron bowl and that's probably why that package only has 3 games.


Many entering freshman, 54% last year to be exact, are from our of state. Most of them have likely never attended a game in BD so maybe the more the better for them?


My son went with B for the Iron Bowl, and because Kent State is family weekend. That will be his first BD experience. I'll be going to that one too, just not with him. On the day tickets went on sale, it opened up at 7:00a. he got his at 7:00:14. I believe Package B was sold out in a couple of hours.

Shouldn't be a problem getting tickets to the other games. UA allows students to "donate" their ticket if they are not going to attend. That ticket is then given to a student on a waiting list for a ticket for that particular game. If your son wants to attend every home game, make sure he gets on the waiting list.

Not to make ya'll feel bad but when I was at UA in the stone age 70's, it was real easy. Home games (all) free, B'ham and away games $1.00.
Just show student ID. 1st come 1st serve in student section and the frat boys would get there early and rope off their 'safe spaces'.

I wonder what will happen when there are more students choosing B rather than A [emoji102][emoji102][emoji102][emoji102][emoji104][emoji104][emoji104][emoji104][emoji104][emoji104][emoji158][emoji158][emoji158][emoji158][emoji158][emoji523][emoji523][emoji523][emoji523][emoji378][emoji378][emoji378]

3 game package is only one worth getting. Auburn may or may not be good but it is still the Iron Bowl.

B sells out and the only option is A. I think they just bumped the price to $10 a game but it's still worth it even to flip the tickets for a profit.

That last part comes from talking to students who don't care anything about football.

At this moment, A&M is attractive too. They could be 5-1 or 2-4 when they play Bama, most likely 4-2. It comes at the worst time; after playing 7 in a row, with A&M coming off of a bye week - like UT last year. Kinda scary.

AU could be 8-3 or 5-7, probably 6-5.

The preferred package usually goes pretty quickly to the early orientation classes - which are the incoming honors students.

it doesn't matter if you are honors or when your orientation session is/was. All freshman were eligible to log in at the same time on June 1 and choose one of the two packages. B sold out in hours, his roommate had to get A that same morning. This may be a new process?
